to a `nieclfiinuically operated type ot the ihe'lijirincipal object olf the `invention is to provide for a device oli thecliaracter Inenjtioned,` and `one having ternal mechanism, whereby to effect a realistic Simulation of a man orwoinan in the act ott smoking,` a pipe, cigar, cigaretteor the like, "either `for the advertising ol' any; par

dies, suchas areqgenerallysmolred and in-` haled forthe treatment foi catarrhal "afl lfections, or, inits more practical use, for` .effecting the burninga "of tobacco in lnew pipes,` whereby to eliminateor otherwise a smoker, such as ot new pipes.

the..mun-eral` indicates "generally the hol-` low body or. casingofjthe device, which is specili `the caniliguratiou ot p a; human tigure and embodying an 1nemetal, having the configuration of a human being, or the bust Aand `connected head portion cfa human` being, as may he desired,

andthe mouth portion ot the dummy head` isarrangedto have its lip portions inturned, as at 12, or otherwisesuitably formedii'or the insertion therein of a pipe or the like 13,

as shown.

Connecting the inner end of the pipe/stem` `or other deviceto besmolred, is an inlet tube 14 lleadingto an inlet 15, Fig. 5, of a valve casing 16 which has its `interior divided by a partition wall 17 rising from the bottom wall thereof for a major portion oi the" `height ot the same, and a second.

`partition Wall 18 depending," from the top wall of the casing for a distance be# low the plane of the upper edge of the par` tition wall 1.7,"wherehv to provide a `tortu ous passage extending` between the opposed walls of the partitions and their opposite walls and the opposed walls :of ythe casingy 16. `Formed in the leg oli the passage-way` between the partition 17 and the `opposed walls of the casing 16 at a point above the inlet port `is a valve seat 19 adapted 'for supporting; thereon a ball valve`20, and a similarly` formed valve seat `isparranged at the lower end of the partition `wall 18,

between the same and the opposed wall ot' the casing- 16, for the seating thereon of a second ball valve 22 which normally closes the complemental. leg of the` said passage` way. `Leading from the legs of the passage enclosed the ball valve QQis `a discharge port 23 which opens into a tube QA; which extends" to and has `its outer end positioned between the lip 1,1 immediately adj acent the pipe stem 13,01M the tube may` lead to` the nasal `outlet to the nose portion of the casincj, as is shown "in dotted lines in Fig. 1, or, it desired the tube can he arranged to simultaneousljgfdischarge outwardly ol openings formed in both the mouth and the nose porw tion of the head. of the dummy casing.

Opening centrali)7 ot the side wall ot the casing 16 opposite to that in which the ports 115` and 23 are 'formed a port Q5 to which is `connected atube 26 leading to a bellows 27 which` is suitably supportedin position .with in the head portionof `thedummyjor casing;r

tending arm 28 by means of'whch it is-.to be ico operably connected to a power' means of any known type suitable for the purpose, a preferred form of the. same to be hereinafter fully described, and it is normally held in its inoperative or contracted positions by means of a coiled spring 29 which has one end connecting the arm 28 and its other end suitably connected to the wall ot the casing 10.

F or operating the bellows 27, the free end of the arm 2S is pivotallv connected to the upper end of an actuating rod 30y which has vits lower end pivotally engaged in a bifurcation 31 formed mediallyv in` the free end edge of a power lever 32 which is, in turn, pivoted at itsother end with bracket arms 33 formedwith or supported inwardly of the front wall of the lower portion of the dummy casing 1t). The lever 32 is substantially T-shaped in plan, and has the bifurcation 31 formed in the free end edge of the T head thereof, and the opposite offset portions of theAT-head constitute `track-ways each. disposed in the path of pairs of rollers 34 spaced at d-iametrically opposite points on and correspondingly of the opposed faces of a pair of discs or wheelsl 35 and 36, which.

are mounted on a shaft 37 journaled at its opposite ends in the side wall of `the casing 10, .the discs or wheels 35 and 36 being dfisposed to each side of the lever 32 and rotat` ing in planes parallel thereto. Mounted on the shaft 37 immediately to one side of the disc or wheel. 35. is a pinion 38 which is arranged in meshvvith a gear 39 carried at one end of a shaft 4()` upon which is normally wound a vcord or cable 41, the free end of which .depends into the lower portion of the casing 10 and has a weight 42 secured thereon, while to the outer side of the disc or wheel 36 is a second gear 43, on the shaft 3T, and in meshing relation with a pinion 44 carrie-don a shaft- 45 upon which is secured arfly wheel 46. The shafts 40 and 45 are suitably journaled in the walls of the casing 10, or in brackets carried inwardly of the latter. This weight 42 constitutes the power means of the apparatus, and, when released from its raised position, gravitates in the downward direction of the casing 10 to unwind the cord orcable 41 for imparting motion to the mechanism. ln lieu of the foregoing weight motor mechanism, the shaft 4Ofmay'v be suitablyv 'driven from a spri11g'ele'ctric.or other form of power de vice.

In the operation of. the device, a., pipe, cigar or. the like-fis insertedbetween the'lips. 12,.,a`nd isl-ighted upon the starting up ofthe mechanism, the initial movementiof which.v fr )rjcesI down on the lever 32, by reason of certain off the" rollers 34 moving into contacjtwith the tra'ckeways thereof during the rot-ation of; the discs or wheels 35, and 36, which, in turn, pulls downward on the. rod

30 and the lower movable portion of the bellows 2T against the tension of the coiled spring 29. The suction created by the opening movement of the bellows 27 acts to raise the ball valve 2O and draws smoke from the pipe 13 through the tube 14, the port 15, the valve seat 19, the port 25, the tube 2G and into the bellows 2T, and upon the closing movement of the bellows 2T, under the tension of the contacting action of the spring 29, the smoke is returned through the tube 26 to the port 25, into the center portion of the valve casing 16, and is forced past the ball valve. 22 through the valve sent 2l, and outward ot the port 23 to the tube 24 and thence to atmosphere through the lips l2, or the nose, or both as the case muy be. Continued operation of the power mechanism willv repeat this cycle of operation until the tobacco or other burning material has been entirely consumed.

lt is to be understood that, whilethe construction and arrangement of the parts ot the invention have been set forth herein in specific details, various changes in the size, shape, and assembly of such parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
